Default Re: Wireless Router Question

Well, one thing that might be making some routers more expensive these days is the introduction of the N router. Basically N is the newest version of the 802.11 standard. I think that you would probably be fine with a B/G router, which has a combination of the previous two versions of the standard. I don't know if that's fine with a PS3 though, but I'm assuming it is.

My family used to have a B/G router. Well we still do, since the router we have is one of those combined router modems for Verizon Fios. The thing is, the router part of it sucks, and we replaced it twice with no luck. So I shut off the wireless on the router/modem, and then I attached a new B/G/N router to the modem via ethernet cable, and we use that to get wireless in the house. We upgraded to N because my Sony Vaio laptop can receive a wireless signal from an N router.

Anyway, my point is that you probably won't have to worry about N routers, so ignore any router with that designation next to it, because you'll be paying for something that you don't need. The thing is that I can't find proof if the PS3 is or is not compatible with N, but I doubt many people have N routers yet, so their PS3s probably work fine with B/G routers.

I hope that piece of information narrows down the selection a bit. That's the most I know.
